That's super cool. Good luck! ~I watched a video series where someone did the techniques in isolation in reverse order and I thought it was a good idea. That way you're always learning on perfect ingredients. i.e. buy chips and le

Deadlock is literally a halting problem. We can't know for every possible program if it halts or not, but the complexity of programs we can determine is increasing as tools and techniques get better

Is anyone working on applying these techniques to formal verification of software? My limited understanding of Rust is that it applies a fixed set of rules to guarantee memory safety. The rules are somewhat simple and limiting, for ease of

What's the goal of this article? There exists a problem in real life that you can solve in the simple case, and invoke a theorem in the general case. Sure, it's unintuitive that I shouldn't go all in on the smallest variance

This aligns closely with the hiring practices I learned in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. The only thing missing is to have structured interviews to reduce interviewer bias. The best predictors of job performance are a simulation

To train an AI to solve problems, you train it extrapolate the future from a starting state of having a problem and the intention to solve the it. So much falls out of that reframing.

Same with "should". I feel like most "should" statements aren't helpful. Something should be done a certain way, but in the end, society should be perfect and we shouldn't have this problem in the first place!

The idea of using randomness to extend cliffs really tickles my brain. Consider repeatedly looping through n+1 objects when only n fit in cache. In that case LRU misses/evicts on every lookup! Your cache is useless and performance fall

The minimum you can do is not allow the AI to perform actions on behalf of the user without informed consent. That still doesn't prevent spam mail from convincing the LLM to suggest an attacker controlled library, GitHub action, passwo

Two instances where lossy compression failed for me are the movie Koyaanisqatsi and songs by the artist TOBACCO. Koyaanisqatsi has a lot of film grain and TOBACCO uses a lot of distortion. There is noise in there, but it's very deeply

We've seen band limited CNNs https://nvlabs.github.io/stylegan3/ What would the implementation of a band limited LLM look like?

Thanks. Is this not effectively an implementation of the Nyquist Learners idea?

"In optics, any optical instrument or system – a microscope, telescope, or camera – has a principal limit to its resolution due to the physics of diffraction." This might be what wbl is referring to.

Wasn't there an paper on band limiting generative CNNs, that fixed texture pinning? Basically by blurring the results of the kernel with neighbors, you get rid of all this aliasing?
